“Learn from America,” Vajira tells Sri Lankan voters

President of the United National Party (UNP) former Member of Parliament Vajira Abeywardena said that the people of the United States, the world’s superpower, chose 78-year-old Donald Trump as the President, and its a leson for Sri Lanka.

Speaking at a party meeting held in Galle recently, he said that his leader, former President Ranil Wickramasinghe, is capable of ruling the country for another 12 years.

He said that Mr. Wickramasinghe’s memory is stronger than anyone and Ranil Wickramasinghe is the only leader who came forward to save the country from the era of queuing for food and fuel.

Referring to the next parliament, he said it would be a ridiculous place with inexperienced MPs. “The next parliament will mark the end of leftist politics in Sri Lanka,” he said.
